Problem
My issue is I like to have my system sounds (including the bell) set to 10% of System Volume.
I have already customised the bell wav for my terminal profiles and this works well, its just the bell sound is too loud and I can't set it to 10% volume because Windows doesn't remember the volume mixer setting for Windows Terminal after it restarts (unlike other apps).
Some undesirable workarounds:
- I know I can disable the bell via
bellStylebut this is not what I want to do. - I know I can modify the bell sound wav audio itself to be much quieter but it seems like a hack.
Steps to reproduce
These settings work perfectly for Command Prompt shell (my system sounds is at 10% and my bell sound is quiet).
However, for other WT profiles it does not work the same:
- Open wt up with a non Command Prompt profile (for example, I am using Git Bash)
- Trigger bell sound (i.e. via failed autocompletion etc). Windows Terminal now appears in volume mixer
- Set Windows Terminal volume to desired volume (i.e. 10%)
- Quit Windows Terminal
- Start Windows Terminal
- Trigger bell sound again (Volume is back to 100% in Volume Mixer)
Expected Behavior
Volume remains the same as previously set value in Volume Mixer.
Actual Behavior
Volume is reset (back to 100%) in Volume Mixer.
